I was about 5 years old the last time I had blue moon ice cream. I don't recall the store we bought it at, somewhere in OH. What I do recall is the "outcome" was very "blue". I remember being very scared. Never had it since but always remember it.

The only Blue Moon ice cream I've ever had was Stroh's at one of their ice cream parlours in Detroit at the Renaissance Center about 35 years ago. I don't think it tasted like almond. I'd say it was fruitier.

I believe it's still made by Stroh's and available throughout much of Michigan and other places near Detroit.

I just had some Blue Moon Ice Cream yesterday in South Haven Michigan. I asked my daughter to taste it. She said it tasted like vanilla but a little different. It did have a hint of almond. It would make a great chocolate shake or malt. It would look kinda funky, but what the heck, we were at a beach-side concession stand.

The old Lindner ice cream chain in Indianapolis occasionally had Blue Moon ice cream in the 1960s - 70s. It was pale blue in color -- barely tinted blue, really. I agree that its flavor was "indeterminate." I think it tasted "blue."

Tried Blue Moon ice cream on a trip to Monroe, Wisconsin, two winters ago. Stopped in at a local ice cream/sweets shop after enjoying lunch (Limburger sandwiches, etc.) at Baumgartner's. The owner of the ice cream shop offered me a taste of Blue Moon after I inquired about the flavor. He described it as being vanilla-like with certain unidentifiable undertones.

I would agree with that assessment. It was an unremarkable flavor. I think the blue color is an ill advised attempt to add pizzazz to a very ordinary ice cream. Maybe some marketing genius said, "We need a new way to sell vanilla...How about we color it bright blue?"

Our local ice cream parlor carries Hershey brand ice cream and blue moon is one of the most popular flavors with younger kids. Its flavor is tough to explain. The closest I could come would be vanilla and fruit loops (whatever flavor those are). Incidently it is also the blue ice cream in superman/superfriends flavors.

If anyone is in the Pittsburgh region, Brr Kee's ice cream in Oakmont, PA (small suburb of Pittsburgh) just made up a big batch of Blue Moon this week! As far as I know, it's the only time Blue Moon has ever been made in Pittsburgh. I'm so excited!

Blue Moon is my favorite. I get a sugar cone of it every time we go to the Zoo.

It's a little marshmallowy, a little citrusy, and a little minty. NOTHING ELSE tastes like it.

Cedar Crest is located in Cedarburg, WI. My local Bob and Kurt's Sentry has those little ice cream cups with the wooden spoon in Blue Moon ( you get like 6 or 8 in a package) as well as Blue Moon Ice Cream Sammiches, complete with a vanilla cookie instead of chocolate.

IF you knew his real name!?!?!?!??!
